Excerpt from Strange Roads His long legs were gaining steadily, now, on the short ones ahead of him and Derek could feel his heart beating all over his body. As he came level with the morning-room windows a wild inspiration ¿ashed through him. If he could touch ~wood it was sanctuary. That was one of the unwritten laws of the game. With a sudden swerve to the right, and a ¿ying leap, he landed on the broad window-sill - breathless, but safe. There he stood in full sunlight, clutching the wood work with one very square brown hand his resolute lower lip thrust out his eyes screwed up against the glare so that they almost vanished under the thick straight line of his brows - a sufficiently engaging picture of half-nervous defiance to soften any heart but that of a brother who was simply enjoying the joke.
